What is the purpose of a Meet and Greet (M&G)?
The meet and greet is a complimentary one hour session to give an opportunity for the client and their family to get to know the allied health assistant, and vice versa.
This initial meeting is an opportunity to:
- Interact, engage and build rapport with each other
- Discuss availability for ongoing sessions (especially long term planning, including upcoming holidays, exams or placements)
- Discuss therapy goals for the client, the allied health assistant’s experience level and expectations during sessions
At the end of the meet and greet, everyone should have enough information to know whether it’s a good personality and experience fit, and whether they feel comfortable committing to working together.
